Jaguar F-Type Coupe caught on video at Nurburgring

The new Jaguar F-Type is a fine looking car, but the F-Type Coupe looks set to be the real looker, and we shouldn’t have to wait too long before the coupe hits a motor show (probably Frankfurt in September). Ahead of that reveal – with a likely on-sale date of early 2014 – Jaguar are out playing with the F-Type Coupe at the Nurburgring, blatting it round the ‘Ring’s unforgiving surfaces and bends to shake the last niggles out before launch.

This particular F-Type is undoubtedly the V8 S – which we expect will get the same 495bhp output as the V8 S Roadster – and it sounds great; a wonderful V8 roar as it pounds round the track.

What is particularly encouraging is how good the F-Type Coupe looks – even with a black roof and swirly camouflage – with a much better roof line and rear end than the Roadster; this will be the pick of the F-Types, especially when Jaguar get round to an R/RS/GT version.

Expect more on the F-Type Coupe – and progressively less camouflage – as it moves towards a reveal.
